More About Karim Kamoun
Karim Kamoun, Jabeur's husband, is also her fitness trainer, and the two are open about the fact that this decision has come with challenging moments. Jabeur made it clear that it was tough in the beginning, explaining:
"Because we're not used to working with each other, and for him to ask me to go to run, it was kind of like an order, and I didn't like it at the beginning. And if he was throwing the medicine ball wrong or something, I would make a scandal for something very small."
